'Denne 2016 Riesling fra Spioenkop Wines er flere steder udråbt som en af de bedste tørre sydafrikanske Riesling vine …. og den smager fandeme også freaking, for søren, også sindsygt godt.

WOW … fik sgu lige lidt Mosel Willi Schaefer deja vu, for sikke da en lækker Riesling fætter med masser af petroleum, et stykke gammelt benzinvædet tvist, en håndfuld flintesten, ingefær, kvæde, syltede citroner og honningmelon. Det er en helt vild aroma, så forførende, æterisk, let og selvom der er tunge petroleum skyer, så svæver denne igennem, henover og ovenover. Vildt.

Smagen overrasker med at være både tyng, rank, sart, sur og bare så præcis … nærmest lidt bævrende, forsigtig uden egentlig at kende sine egne styrker. Det er citronsaft, som ikke bliver helt surt og så er den samtidig knastør. Det hyler af stringent og let væske, en lille kæk grape bitterhed og en vin, som samtidig skriger efter lidt mad. Det er en kongevin.'

Vinanmelder Tim Atkin 95 pts. 

Vinproducenten skriver: A very crisp wine with flinty green characters on the nose and hints of fig and tropical fruits. The sweet middle palate and dry finish ensures a well balanced taste that complements the bouquet. 

This unwooded, crisp white wine shows passionfruit, guava and apricot on the nose. The palate displays concentrated layers of white peach, apple and pear, balanced with a fresh acidity and textural finish.

SERVING SUGGESTION: Enjoy this wine with hearty salads and simply prepared pork or      chicken dishes. it is also a great partner to grilled pear with a honey glaze sauce.

Den næste rosévin er vitterlig en rigtig lille sommer-rosé og ganske fantasifuldt kaldt Sand Tropez Rosé, hvor navnet jo nærmest er skrevet med sand på flaske. Vinen kommer fra vinhuset Domaine Tropez i Provence. Duftmæssigt … WHAT? Animalsk, landlig og har lidt frugt-te, jordbær, græs, hø, drikkeyoghurt, skal fra grape og blodappelsiner, kiwi, grøn peber og søde krydderier. I munden er vinen lidt kantet, skæv og sjov. Det er på ingen måder komplekst eller dybt, men lidt overfladisk, klart en terrassevin eller måske endnu bedre en vin, som du helt passende tager med på til en dag på stranden. Der er ikke megen syre, men en lille tør, sødbitter og frisk smag. Det er ikke stor vin, men på terrassen vil den gøre underværker med den sjove etiket.

Vinmageren skriver: The wine displays a golden to light amber colour. It has a perfumed nose ofbright pineapple, ripe apricot, honeyed marmalade and seductive rose petal. These heady aromas are supported by orange blossom, jasmine and wild rosemary. The nose carries through to the taste, where the mouth-watering sweetness is cut by a tangy acidity, which ensures a persistent and refreshing finish.

Food Pairing: This is a naturally fermented and unfortified wine, and allows for many delightful treats, which may incl. savoury duck liver pate, sweet spice-laced puddings and traditional soft cheeses.

Serve chilled and don’t wait for dessert.

Vinhuset skriver følgende om denne specielle vin: The Bowwood motto is to produce singular, sight-specific wines that exemplify not only the best examples of their type in South Africa but of  those of the world. Special attention is given to how the wine will mature over time and we highly recommend additional cellaring to release the wine’s full potential.

Light dances through this wine’s bright, gold leaf colour. It captures, bends and reflects with the same hypnotic rhythm as a fresh mountain stream in the late light of summer. A cerebral experience, the wine is initially timid on the nose, but soon explodes kaleidoscopically in the back of the brain. Delicate apricot, yellow pear and cut straw aromas are fabulously supported by denser greengage, crushed cumin, raw almond and wild celery. The palate is luxurious and full, with a chalky dryness and vast savoury spectrum. Its mineral freshness showcases honeyed tangerine, roasted corn, ripe quince and sweet cashew. Savoury notes include freshly minced bay leaf and fine ground nutmeg.

Food Pairing: We recommend this wine be paired with nut crusted swordfish and saffron infused risotto or crispy, shredded duck on spring onion pancakes with tomato salsa.
